I might be wrong, but I have been told that Russian army started to walk back home from the war in 1917 and then they told leaders that they have had enough of war. Could it be that easy? I mean, they have all the weapons after all?

Sure. Easy for you. Not easy for a brain dead person who was told over 2 years that they have to follow orders or they will end up in jail for at least 20 years.

I mean. Look at the US and how many soldiers do not kill Iranians, Venezuelans, Cubans, (…) and just walk back home.

Oh, I wasn’t there back then. On the other hand, you follow the orders and get killed by Ukrainians, or you get your comrades along and go back to home to kill your tzar once again. Chances are that you get killed by doing this or you could end this shitty war.

It’s the same thing with USA.

I seem to recall them trying something similar a few years ago. For some reason Prigozen(?) decided to believe Putin and The Kremlin and they promptly blew up his plane.

Yes they did, but it wasn’t very well done, I think Prigotzhin was chickening out and didn’t go all the way to the finish line. If you start the coup, you can’t just stop and act as nothing had happened, it’s a one way ticket and you have to know it.
